Kelsey Hill
Marketing & Social Media Specialist​

Kelsey is the creative mind behind all things marketing at Grace Manor Events. From capturing behind-the-scenes moments and wedding-day details to creating social content, blogs, and videos, she loves finding new ways to tell the Grace Manor story. With a camera (or phone!) usually in hand, her favorite part is turning those special moments into inspiration for future couples planning their own “I do.”
